Quality in healthcare shouldn’t be a checklist. It should be a clinical discipline—shaped by physicians, delivered with nurse leadership, and validated by outcomes that matter to patients and employers. That’s the core of World Class Health’s approach.

For benefits leaders, the term "quality" can feel abstract and difficult to measure. Many network programs point to high value providers without transparently sharing grading criteria and results. We believe a more rigorous, data-driven method is necessary to ensure every dollar spent translates to better health outcomes and a stronger bottom line.

Our quality model is built by physicians and is executed by nurses who support each patient from their first referral to their full recovery. The result is fewer unnecessary procedures, safer care, and reliably better outcomes—across the U.S. and internationally. This system provides the transparency and measurable value that employers need to manage costs and fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities.

Pillar 1: Selecting the Right Physicians and Hospitals

Achieving great outcomes begins with carefully chosen physicians and reliable care settings. Contrary to common belief, a hospital’s brand or size does not always guarantee better value or results. Our process zeroes in on top-performing surgeons and scrutinizes facility quality, ensuring optimal care for each patient.

For our U.S. network, we follow a data-driven approach using GAM Measures, created in collaboration with hundreds of respected physicians. These measures help us identify surgeons who consistently deliver evidence-based care. We closely analyze factors such as appropriateness of care (avoiding unnecessary procedures), complication rates (driving safer surgeries), and adherence to proven guidelines.

This thorough evaluation ensures our network physicians are not only well-credentialed but also proven to practice medicine in the right way and achieve great patient outcomes.

Across our global network, we uphold these same high standards. We partner exclusively with renowned surgeons with national and international reputations in   top facilities with the highest level of recognition and accreditation, including those recognized by the Joint Commission International (JCI). Regardless of geographic location, every provider we choose meets rigorous benchmarks for clinical quality and patient safety.

Pillar 2: Nurse-Led Navigation That Closes Gaps

Every patient is paired with a dedicated registered nurse who acts as a single, consistent point of contact from the initial consultation through up to a year after surgery. Unlike traditional call centers, our nurses are experienced clinicians who provide continuity and support.

Nurse navigators play a crucial role in reinforcing surgeon care plans and promoting adherence to clinical guidelines. They monitor patients closely, identifying early warning signs of complications and escalate issues promptly to ensure quick intervention. By coordinating directly with both surgeons and primary care providers, they help keep each patient’s recovery on track and reduce the likelihood of gaps in care.

Decades of evidence demonstrate that nurse-led models have a measurable impact: they improve patient adherence, reduce avoidable readmissions, and increase satisfaction. For employers, this means fewer complications, lower downstream costs, and streamlined returns to work. For patients, it translates to clear guidance, trusted support, and better overall outcomes.

Pillar 3: Continuous Outcomes Tracking and Meaningful Remediation

Quality is not a destination but an ongoing journey. Our third pillar ensures that exceptional results aren’t left to chance—they’re actively measured, reviewed, and improved upon. We maintain a dynamic feedback loop, tracking outcomes in real time using a combination of objective clinical data and patient-reported experiences.

Whenever a concern arises, our expert team acts swiftly to investigate and resolve it. We work hand-in-hand with clinicians, helping them learn from every case and adapt best practices across our network.

Key steps in our process include:

• Signal Detection: Proactive monitoring of patient outcomes and navigator feedback.
• Clinical Escalation: Rapid review and triage by clinical leadership when issues are detected.
• Collaborative Outreach: Direct engagement with treating physicians to understand root causes and identify solutions.
• Targeted Remediation: Actionable feedback, personalized coaching, and shared learnings to drive system-wide improvements.

By connecting data, people, and purpose, we turn insights into better care for every patient.

Delivering Measurable Value

At World Class Health, quality is a system designed to deliver tangible results. It is built by clinicians, powered by data, and measured by outcomes. This approach provides employers and their members with:

• Safer Care: Fewer complications and readmissions through rigorous selection and proactive navigation.
• Better Value: Eliminating low-value care and reducing unwarranted variation in treatment.
• Higher Satisfaction: Increased trust and confidence from clear communication and personalized clinical support.

Our commitment is to ensure that every patient, every time, experiences truly world-class care that is both effective and efficient.
